First river cruise we have taken as we are normally ocean cruisers. Pros: Food and service was better. Everything was within 50 feet away which made accessibility more convenient. The small setting made it more intimate. A completely different vibe which we loved. Cons: Room and bathroom were smaller even though we had a suite. When ever you flushed, it sounded like the toilet would explode. Bathroom was inconvenient to get to. No elevator between 3rd and 4th floors. You can clearly hear people walking and running upstairs. Other boats can block your view. Ramps are much, much steeper at times. There were technical issues which were ironed out. This was expected given this was the inaugural cruise of the Emerald Astra. Overall: Enjoyed the journey, food, service, people, and guided excursions from guides who lived in the various countries we visited.Show more

We had a fabulous cruise. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and professional. The weather wasn’t cooperative as it was cool and rainy a fair bit. It warmed up by the end though. We really enjoyed our first cruise with Emerald and Tour Radar was instrumental in that success. Your staff were very professional and helpful as well and attentive to our questions and timely with the answers. Thank you.Show more
